"Hill construction is the best contractor Iâ  ve ever used. He does the work in a timely manner and is very knowledgeable in all aspects of construction. I would recommend him to anyone that needs work done to their home. He is very reasonable"
"We’re currently remodeling two bathrooms under the same contract. The first bathroom is complete, and the second one just started this week. While their bid wasn’t the lowest we received, it felt fair and, in hindsight, definitely worth it. The project manager was an excellent communicator—knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and never pressured us to accept the offer. We’re extremely pleased with the quality of work on the first bathroom and are confident the second will turn out just as well. A tip for future clients: make sure you have all the necessary materials on hand. We did, and the team completed the bathroom ahead of schedule. The space is narrow, so the photo angles don’t do it justice, but I hope they still give a sense of the high-quality work delivered."

"My wife and I wanted to add a sun room and patio to our home. Wally worked closely with us to design the perfect space. We would definitely use his services again if the need arises."
"Completed the job in a week. Communicated each step of the project. All the workers were on time and very professional. Responded well to any errors in the work and did it with a good attitude. Very reasonable pricing. Couldn’t be happier with the job they did. Will definitely use them again."
"Of all the contractors that worked hard to remodel my kitchen, Mr. Jose Lopez of High Quality Sheetrock Repair, was my favorite. After the old counter-top and old back-splash tile was removed, Mr. Lopez removed the damaged drywall and replaced it. He carefully cut around the electrical receptacles and the plumbing supply lines to avoid leaving large gaps. He made sure that the drywall was straight so that the new counter-top will lay flush against the wall. He aligned the seams to provide a smooth surface on which to install the new tile back-splash. When told that the new tile may be glass tile, he returned with paint and painted the new drywall white to ensure consistent coloration of the translucent tile. He charged no extra fees for the painting work. The beautifully laid and finished kitchen counter-top and back-splash tile are a testament to Mr. Lopez's forethought, conscientious attitude and careful attention to detail."
"Jose and his helpers Jose and Herman worked efficiently and neatly, were very respectful of our home, and were very nice on top of that. Jose explained every change that needed to be made based on our house's particular circumstances (for instance, when we needed longer cables for the TV) and every point where I had to make a decision, gave useful suggestions, and showed me each job as it was finished so that I could provide immediate feedback. His contract was clear and accurate, and he completed all the work in very timely fashion and to a very professional standard, leaving our house tidy (after asking me whether I wanted to keep the boxes for the fans, etc.) and all the jobs completed to my great satisfaction. I received regular texts to indicate when he was on his way and to answer any questions I had before and during work. I would, and will, happily hire JY Handyman Services again!"
"This is the second time that we have called Manuel to come remove fences and install a new fence between us and the neighbors. The first time was with the neighbors to the south of us a year or so ago. And this second time was just this past week with the new neighbors to the north of us. Everything went very well and very quickly and cleanup was awesome."
"We had a lot of apprehension due to how we came to needing H&M's services but Maria's professionalism put that to rest and things went smoothly from there. H&M's works were prompt, communicative, and highly skilled. I was happy to see the areas of our house they fixed was in better condition after the repair than they were prior to how they were before they were even damaged. I look forward to redoing other parts of my house with H&M."
In most cases, you should get an architect before you hire a builder. An architect will be the one to draw up formal plans for your project, including guidelines and even material lists for your builder to follow during construction. Many architects can even help you find builders, choose one for your project, and negotiate prices. Some are also willing to act as project managers throughout the process, working closely with a builder from start to finish.
There are energy-efficient options when building a cottage. Select green building materials, high-performance insulation, and energy-efficient windows when designing your cottage. Options such as solar panels, efficient HVAC systems, and LED lighting can lower your utility bills and reduce your environmental impact. Many builders offer energy-efficient upgrades as part of the design process.
Hiring a reliable home builder is an essential task, but there are a few questions you can ask a potential builder to ensure you they are trustworthy and up to the task:
How long do you expect the process to take?
Are you fully licensed and insured?
How much of the work will you subcontract?
Will you pull all of the necessary permits for the job?
How long is the builder’s warranty you include with your work?
How do you handle resolution for issues I might have with the finished product?
How much experience do you have?
Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction.
Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.
Check reviews, compare quotes, and verify licensing. Ensure the builder has experience with modular construction.
